CUIP/NSP-Tech Reporting Procedures and Messages

How-To do your Activity Reports in Evernote:

The reporting system as of the 2013-14 school year for CUIP-NSP Tech is based in a software product called Evernote.

Evernote wants users to register for an account. They have free and premium accounts. A free account will work fine.
The system is available as a web page to access thru a browser, also a program for desktop and laptop computers, and finally as an app on tablets and phones. Some of the getting-started steps seem to work best on the web. Once set up, you can use your preference of those platforms for the most convenient one to file your reports with.
Evernote maintains what they call Notes, organized in containers called Notebooks. CUIP staff will share with you a designated Notebook. After you have joined the shared notebook, when viewing the notebook you can click to create a New Note, and this will hold your report.
The instructions below break down into two sections: "Beforehand: Getting set up" and "Weekly Reporting: Filing an Activity Report".

If you have not received (or no longer see in your email) an invitation for our shared Evernote notebook, give the CUIP staff (at Help@cuip.uchicago.edu) your preferred email address,
CUIP staff will have Evernote send you a message to join that share.

Click on the item in the email that will take you to Evernote, with parameters to join this notebook.

Evernote signup
(Or if you already have an Evernote account, use "Sign In" instead of "Register".)

It will take you right into the notebook and its contents.
By all means, read other reports, and see how it has been done.
Optional: If you will be using other than the Web Browser experience of Evernote, within the site you will find places to download the tablet / phone app, and the desktop / laptop program.

Connect to Evernote.
This screenshot illustrates using the web browser version, but you could very similarly open the phone / tablet app or computer full application. (They would probably have your sign-in saved; this web example has a step needed for that.)
Navigate to our shared notebook.
Optionally, locate an early Note wthin the Notebook which provides a template that can be used for your reports. If you want to use it, click in the note content area, select all, and copy.
Click on "+ New Note" to create an empty Note, which you will fill in with your report.
In the note's Title space, please record you name or initials, the school, and the date. (Or else something completely different and witty!)
Optionally, in the Note's main text area, paste the Template if you copied it earlier.
Fill in the content of your report, in the Note's main text area, whether with the use of the template or freestyle.
